Weather report

IT’S BRISK, 8 degrees or so. Driving to Chiba today to trade in lease cars, a twice-a-year procedure. Today the car is blue, tomorrow it will be black. The dog will attend--she likes car rides.
So far OSX Leopard is working fine, better than Tiger. The usual suspects have reported problems with their install/upgrades, but if you load your computer up with a lot of crap, expect the worst. I did a clean install, migrated user data manually and reinstalled all new program versions. Even Time Machine, Apple’s much-hyped backup solution works as advertised. Mostly of use to people who inadvertently toss out a file, delete it and then want it back, something I probably haven’t done in years. I can restore the entire drive via the install CD and Time Machine or so they say. I have also never had an irreversible drive failure.
